1965-1967 Master Chassis Bolt Kit, 396, Drum Brakes
1965-1967 Master Chassis Bolt Kit, 396, Drum Brakes; 1965–1967 Master Chassis Bolt Kits for Big Block (396) vehicles with Factory Drum Brakes are comprehensive undercarriage hardware sets designed for authentic frame-off builds or concours restorations.
Manufactured primarily by AMK Products to meet strict assembly-line standards, these kits supply roughly 85% of all original chassis fasteners. They utilize factory-accurate head markings, correct thread pitches, high-tensile specifications (such as Grade 8 spindle bolts), and original chemical finishes (like black phosphate, silver zinc, or cadmium plating) to satisfy strict judging guidelines. Sourcing a pre-packaged master chassis bundle typically saves builders over 20% to 25% compared to buying individual hardware sub-kits.
What These Kits Contain
The underlying fasteners arrive divided into individually sealed, labeled sub-bags categorized by functional mechanical zones. Depending on the precise year, a standard big-block drum kit averages between 347 to 363 total pieces covering:
- Front Drum Brake Hardware: High-strength Grade 8 hex bolts and matching locking nuts to secure the brake backing plates to the steering spindles, master cylinder-to-firewall fasteners, brake booster mount nuts, brake hose frame clips, and front wheel cylinders.
